Reclaiming the Natural Component through Theater Games
Reclaiming the Natural Component through Theater Games

Summary/Abstract: One of the most important objectives of the methodology of the ”I.L. Caragiale” National University of Theatre and Film for the I st year Acting Department is “reclaiming of the natural component”, as it was initially formulated by Professor Ion Cojar, which involves the taking back in possession of a human potential unaltered by the norms of society, free from fears and anxieties, available for the act of creation. The research seeks to demonstrate that theater games are the main tool that facilitate this process, the student retracing under guidance the same stages of play from the first years of life. To support this idea, a parallel will be drawn between the theater games which the student meets in class work at the National University of Theatre and Film (UNATC) and the games played instinctively in early childhood. The main idea of this approach is that theater games are not only a tool for learning, but rather for re-gaining skills, for relearning and re-discovery.
